You think, you feel, you&nbsp;are—but what if your consciousness isn’t just in your brain? What if reality itself is shaped by something beyond the physical?&nbsp;In this episode,&nbsp;Mark Gober—author, consciousness researcher, and former Silicon Valley banker—joins Dave Asprey&nbsp;to challenge everything you think you know about the mind, reality, and human potential. He explores groundbreaking research on near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, and why some scientists believe consciousness may exist beyond the body.&nbsp;Mark reveals how declassified CIA documents, quantum physics, and meditation practices point to a deeper, more interconnected world—one where perception&nbsp;creates&nbsp;reality. If you’ve ever questioned whether free will is an illusion, wondered about life after death, or wanted to tap into higher states of awareness, this episode will shift your perspective.&nbsp;What You’ll Discover in This Episode:&nbsp;•&nbsp;Is consciousness non-local?&nbsp;Why your brain might not be the source of your thoughts&nbsp;•&nbsp;Near-death experiences & life after death—the science and firsthand accounts&nbsp;•&nbsp;Psychic phenomena & remote viewing—what the CIA doesn’t want you to ignore&nbsp;•&nbsp;Float tanks, meditation & altered states—how to access expanded awareness&nbsp;•&nbsp;The AI consciousness debate—can machines ever become truly self-aware?&nbsp;•&nbsp;Protecting your energy—why spiritual safeguards matter when exploring altered states&nbsp;&nbsp;SPONSORS&nbsp;-Our Place | Head to&nbsp;<a href="https://fromourplace.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fromourplace.com/</a>&nbsp;and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.&nbsp;-fatty15 | Go to&nbsp;<a href="https://fatty15.com/dave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fatty15.com/dave</a>&nbsp;and save an extra $15 when you subscribe with code DAVE.&nbsp;&nbsp;Resources:&nbsp;&nbsp;• A Day of Biohacking and Consciousness Event April 12th: <a href="https://daveasprey.com/biohacking-and-consciousness/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://daveasprey.com/biohacking-and-consciousness/</a>&nbsp;• Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: <a href="https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/</a>&nbsp;• Mark’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/markgober_author/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/markgober_author/</a>&nbsp;• Mark’s Website: <a href="https://www.markgober.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.markgober.com/</a>&nbsp;• Danger Coffee: <a href="https://dangercoffee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dangercoffee.com</a>&nbsp;• Dave Asprey’s Website: <a href="https://daveasprey.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://daveasprey.com</a>&nbsp;• Dave Asprey’s Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/daveasprey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/daveasprey</a>&nbsp;• Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: <a href="https://www.ourupgradecollective.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ourupgradecollective.com</a>&nbsp;• Own an Upgrade Labs: <a href="https://ownanupgradelabs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ownanupgradelabs.com</a>&nbsp;• Upgrade Labs: <a href="https://upgradelabs.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://upgradelabs.com</a>&nbsp;• 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: <a href="https://40yearsofzen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://40yearsofzen.com</a>&nbsp;Timestamps:&nbsp;00:00&nbsp;- Trailer&nbsp;00:50&nbsp;- Intro&nbsp;03:11&nbsp;- Meet Mark Gober&nbsp;05:25&nbsp;- From Banking to Awakening&nbsp;10:16&nbsp;- Float Tanks & Consciousness&nbsp;12:35&nbsp;- Psychic Phenomena&nbsp;19:14&nbsp;- Science & Skepticism&nbsp;25:51&nbsp;- Personal Experiences&nbsp;40:51&nbsp;- Spiritual Protection&nbsp;42:58&nbsp;- Parasitic Entities&nbsp;44:59&nbsp;- Psychedelics & Mindset&nbsp;45:58&nbsp;- Alien Abductions&nbsp;47:04&nbsp;- Navigating Psychedelics&nbsp;51:58&nbsp;- Intuition & Inner Knowing&nbsp;58:41&nbsp;- Telepathy & Remote Viewing&nbsp;59:46&nbsp;- Near-Death Experiences&nbsp;01:04:54&nbsp;- Consciousness Beyond the Brain&nbsp;01:12:38&nbsp;- Psychic Abilities & Ethics&nbsp;01:24:11&nbsp;- Consciousness & Reality&nbsp;01:27:58&nbsp;- Final Thoughts&nbsp;See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
